Divorce to get 2nd marriage

Post by sodbe » Sun Aug 18, 2013 5:55 pm

I've been in civil partnership with my british partner for over 4 years now. Im from a muslim family and my family dont know about this at all. Now this is a time to have an arrange marriage. Without divorce I wont be able to sponser my wife to come and to live here. My partner is happy to go through the divorce. I read on government website about divorce and they said
"
You may be able to arrange your own divorce without involving solicitors if you agree on:

1 - the reasons for a divorce
2 - how you’ll look after any children
3 - how you’ll split up money, property and possessions
"
We've no children and no property or possessions etc so 2nd and 3rd steps are easier but we dont know about the first step what reason should be for the divorce. If we simply describe I'm getting an arrange marriage should that work or should we come up with any proper reason. The only reason we're falling apart and need divorce is my arrange marriage. But I'm confuse incase if they don't accept this reason as a valid reason. After my arrange marriage I will have to sponser my wife as usually happens in asian cultures.

Does anyone know how the divorce process works? and the above mentioned reason would consider a valid reason or not?

Please give me an advise regarding this. Thanks

You are just dumping your partner so you can marry someone from your homeland, I don't know who to feel more sorry for, your British Partner or the poor woman from your homeland. Shocking. And it's a dissolution of a civil partnership rather than divorce. Were you just using your British partner to get settlement?

I do understand all that but I've no other option. I can't come out to my family. I still love my british partner and he knows about muslims silly idiologies. We both got no clue what to do and how to work around time flies pass fast and we are helpless.

I do understand and I'm rarely judgemental but life is short and if you love someone then cherish it. I think it's time to cut ties with your family and religion, just tell your family, I don't want to marry, if they don't like it, tough. I knows that's going to be hard but it's time to be strong and do the right thing. Living in an unhappy relationship with regret all your life is not worth it at all.

I know making it happen would be a nightmare I wish if it was as easy as you mentioned. Sometime I think maybe living 2 lives would be an easy option. My only crime was the accident of my birth and now I will have to sacrifice something.

This is an "immigration" forum but your queries aren't immigration related. Please seek help on appropriate forums / from organisation(s) that can provide advice on the matter (e.g. - CAB) or a family law solicitor.
